Lucien seemed very impatient and disrespectful as an instructors. It was basically like getting scolded for an hour straight. His instruction were unclear and instrad of explaining what went wrong, he would just yell more. I am an experienced driver in my home country and yet he made me feel like I didn't know anything and tried to sell 10 more lessons. Overall, it was quite unproductive and would not recommend.

I had a really disappointing experience with Lucien as my driving instructor. He was impatient, frequently raised his voice, and didn’t put in the effort to actually teach or explain techniques. As a learner, you expect guidance and encouragement—but instead, he assumed I should already drive like a professional and got angry over even small mistakes. This completely shook my confidence right before my test, and I ended up failing my first attempt. I later switched to another driving school, where I received proper instruction and support—and passed without issues. Overall, I found his attitude unprofessional and not suited for teaching beginners. I would not recommend him if you’re looking for a patient and supportive instructor. Read Less

If I could put 0 start I would. I payed around 14 classes to drive with Lucien and my experience was the worst experience I could ask for. He would constantly yell at me and explain me nothing, he would personally insult me and tell me that I would purposely drive badly when it was my first time driving. I 100% don’t recommend the driver Lucien, the good reviews have to be fake because I’m surprised on how he’s even allowed to give lessons. He would also overcharge me and come 20 minutes in advance and get mad when I don’t arrive instantly. I would also usually drive less than a full hour. If you think about taking driving classes here only do it if you are ready to get yelled out and insulted. Read Less

I am sharing my personal experience with this driving school, specifically with the instructor Lucien. From my first lesson, the learning environment felt very stressful. As a beginner, I expected calm and structured guidance. Instead, many corrections were delivered by shouting. Being yelled at for beginner mistakes made it very hard to focus and build confidence. Before my driving test, I was repeatedly told in a raised tone that I would not pass. Hearing that right before the exam significantly increased my stress. After I failed, the feedback felt discouraging rather than constructive. During lessons, there were frequent distractions such as phone calls and social media videos playing while I was driving. As a new driver, I felt that full attention and focus would have been more appropriate. I also paid for one-hour sessions, but some lessons felt shorter than expected. There was a billing discrepancy at one point, which was later corrected, but it added to my concerns. Over time, instead of gaining confidence, I became more anxious. Learning to drive is already stressful, and the constant shouting and intensity made it much harder for me. Based on my experience, I would not choose to take lessons with Lucien again. I am sharing this so other beginner drivers can make an informed decision. Read Less

I had a great experience with this instructor. I needed a driving instructor on short notice and only had a few hours of practice beforehand. In just about 4–5 hours of driving, he managed to teach me everything I needed in a clear and structured way. He explains things extremely well, stays calm, and focuses on what actually matters for real driving and for the exam. His teaching is very efficient — he doesn’t waste time, but makes sure you truly understand what you’re doing. When we went to the driving exam, the examiner evaluated me for about 10 minutes and said I was doing very well and that I would pass — and I did. That alone shows how good this instructor is. If you’re looking for someone who can teach you a lot in a short amount of time, explain things clearly, and genuinely prepare you to pass, I highly recommend him Read Less
